statsdmiddleware

Repo with an example Flask app which uses my statsd middleware.

setup

$ make bootstrap

This will setup the virtualenv and requirements (Flask and dogstatsd-python).

running

$ make run

This will run the built-in flask webserver in debug mode. Afterwards you can open http://127.0.0.1:5000/test to trigger a rendering of the test view.

seeing metrics

$ make tcpdump

This runs tcpdump so you can see the UDP packets containing the statsd metrics the middleware is emitting. For a proper experience I recommend getting setup with Datadog and passing your metrics there ;-)
